Step 1: Recognize that this is a trigonometric integral involving powers of csc(x) and cot(x). For integrals of this type, it is often helpful to use trigonometric identities to simplify the expression. Recall the identity: csc²x = 1 + cot²x.
Step 2: Break down the powers of csc(x) and cot(x) to facilitate substitution. Specifically, split csc¹⁰x into csc⁸x imes csc²x, and use cot³x as is.
Step 3: Substitute u = cot(x), which implies du = -csc²x dx. Replace csc²x dx with -du in the integral.
Step 4: Rewrite the integral in terms of u. Using the substitution, the integral becomes: ∫ csc⁸x imes cot³x imes (-du). Replace csc⁸x using the identity csc²x = 1 + cot²x, which leads to powers of u.
Step 5: Simplify the integral entirely in terms of u and integrate. After substitution, the integral will involve a polynomial in u. Perform the integration term by term, and then back-substitute u = cot(x) to express the result in terms of x.
